Description | [Watlington House, Watlington Street, Reading, was originally built in 1688 for Samuel Watlington, and extended in the 18th century. It was acquired by Reading Borough in the mid 19th century, and used for Kendrick Girls' School, 1877-1927. It was then purchased by a trust for general charitable, educational and social purposes, including serving as headquarters of the Berkshire Federation of Women's Institutes (for which see D/EX2007).] |
